A group of people are marching through Moscow and calling for a nuclear strike on the US.
The expert said that the rally was staged by the Kremlin.
The expert said the rally showed the propaganda machine was losing steam.
A group of people dressed in orange and black marched through the streets of Moscow holding flags and signs. Two men are filming on their phones as they walk past.
The man at the head of the crowd was singing a song in Russian.
He yelled "On Washington!". It was on Washington. Some people in the crowd joined in.
The leader gave a cheer every few seconds.
We are going to heaven as martyrs. He said the same thing as President Putin. He demanded attacks on American decision-making centers.
Videos from the rally were uploaded to Russian Telegram channels on Saturday. The Russian media referred to the rally as the March on Washington.
One Russia expert told Insider that it was a staged affair.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian government restructured its economy. You have 50 people walking in a formation, all written in the same handwriting, with one man yelling in front of them.
Law enforcement was not present in the video in a city where protests always have a police presence.
It was not likely that the rally was held by a rogue organization.
He said that they wouldn't be able to stage a protest. The Kremlin wants complete control.
The "March on Washington" shows how the Kremlin is handling public sentiment about the war in Ukraine.
He said that there were a lot of people at previous demonstrations.
They have done this many times outside the US Embassy. The numbers were a lot more than this.
He said that the larger the crowd, the more likely the Russians were to support aggression against the West.
The majority of the protesters held their phones or flags in the air, but only when the crowd leader asked them to chant.
They did the minimum because they weren't paid a lot. The budget was very low.
According to a translation by the Daily Beast reporter Julia Davis, the media host of state TV in Russia called the rally a "gross clown show."
Nikita Danyuk, a Russian political scientist at the Institute for Strategic Studies and Predictions, told Mardan that the rally was so extreme that it could be used as fuel for Ukrainian propaganda.
He didn't know who signed off on it. You can see it's coordinated when it's happening in the center of Moscow. They got some kind of permission.
Danyuk said that if you try to do that without coordination, specially trained people will arrive and you will not be able to do anything.
The Federal Security Service is the main successor to the Russian KGB.
There's a message at that point.
It's the end of their imaginations. What are they thinking at the top of their heads? Bomb the capital city of the United States. How can we destroy them? There is a person named sarmat
The sarmat is a missile that can carry a lot of nuclear weapons. Protesters in Moscow in October were calling for a strike on the US. The black rocket they paraded on the streets appeared to have been used in the previous rally.
If it's not likely to convince anyone, Moscow would bother with a low-effort act like that.
Nobody will listen to this. The tactics of the Soviet Union have been returned to. A hammer. Don't fill the space with a lot of activity.
